New Bandit owner
Hello fellow Bandits.
Below is my first B4 and I've yet lots to learn about it; I'm hoping that here will be a good place to do that! :)
This section of the 400GB forum is looking quite empty at the mo, but hopefully in time it'll become a place of reference for all GSF400 owners!
Questions: Does anyone know of any model identifying guides for these Bandits? How many are there?
I'm still not sure which one mine is! It's supposedly a 1993 model, which had a black (or maybe grey) frame before it was resprayed in red! Engine# starts with K707 and chassis# with GK75A...
Can anyone shed any light on this, just by looking at the photo

It needs a fair bit of TLC and I'll start off by giving it a decent bath; then it's on with getting rid of that red...
Will report back soon...
Cheers all. :)

Re: New Bandit owner
<sarc on> Wow, it's really busy in here. </sarc off> :D
I thought the RVF400 was a rare bike, but it seems the Bandit4 is even more! Does anyone else owns one of these
Anyways, might aswell reply to my own post.
Been dismantling the bike to get it ready for a respray; took a load of photos and will keep a further record of this refurb and post further developments on the Graphis & Style section.
If anyone's out there, do check it out...

Re: New Bandit owner
That banditalley site is ok, but as I'm a 400GB devotee, I shall continue to try and enrich this forum's Bandits section! :)

Re: New Bandit owner
Cool!
Do they share the same engine, do you know?
Am just about to go start a topic on the refurb I've been doing, so do pay the graphics & style a visit. :)

Re: New Bandit owner
YAY, I found other gk75a's. What a relief. Mines apperently a 1990 model but not sure becuases its only a declaration date on the V5. In response to the question about diffrent models of 75A's, the only models of 75a's i know are the V and K models Mines a K. I know that The V Stands for Variable valves. But i dunno what K stands for. Anyone care in enlighten me???
